How would you journalize these transations and where should you post them?

1. Discovered error made by Jack Hobie. One-third ($270.00) of the supplies purchased from Beach Office Supply on June 2 were actually store supplies rather than office supplies.

5. Received a check from Laker Marine Supply in full payment of the balance of their account. You must determine if a discount was taken, and if so, how much it was. Seaside Marina only grants discounts on the basis of full payment of an invoice within the discount period.

10. Seaside needed additional space and purchased a warehouse to remodel and the land around it. Prior to arranging permanent financing, Seaside signed a short term construction note payable. The terms of the note are $50,000, 90 days at 16%. The building value was determined to be $40,000.

11. Seaside's ad agency offered Mr. Hobie a special deal. If he purchased an additional $150 of advertising to be used in August, Seaside would receive free layout services. Mr. Hobie paid the agency $150 to be recorded as advertising expense.

We usually like to see your efforts and specific problems but I realise intrepretation of some of this may not be easy

I expect store supplies means inventory so the account would either be purchases or inventory

well reference to a calender might help

there is an asset and there is a liability as well as interest payable at a future date

not knowning the current date I can only assume this is a prepayment but the instruction seems reasonably specific

The usual format of a journal is

debit account amount
credit account amount
Narration
